Addressing maritime threats of terrorism

Meanwhile, Deputy Defence Minister, Kofi Amankwa-Manu, has revealed that the maritime threats of terrorism and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea are real. However, he stated that due to the collaborative efforts of surrounding countries, the threat will be effectively addressed.

“It’s very important that we look at the security of our water bodies. On sea also, the threats are very real, because we have a lot of pirates along the Gulf of Guinea but thank God all the countries along the Gulf Of Guinea are now collaborating, efficiently and effectively to deal with this issue. So, yes, the threats of terrorism on sea are real but if you have these collaborative efforts from all the agencies and ministries, it is better.”

Kofi Amankwa-Manu

Developed jointly by the Ministries of Transport, National Security, Defence, Energy, Fisheries, Foreign Affairs, Interior, and Justice along with international and private sector partners, NIMS is a forward-thinking strategy designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and address challenges facing Ghana’s maritime sector.
